Chaparral 28 Surf (2022) - Test Video by BoatTEST.com

The mission of the Chaparral 28 Surf is to be a super-sized luxury bowrider with the ability to serve up custom wakes for surfing. She comes with a forward-facing stern drive from Volvo Penta or MerCruiser, wake-shaping appendages licensed from Malibu and twin multifunction displays from SIMRAD that control the wakes and provide all the engine and navigation information a captain needs.

Absolutely beautiful boat, great content! Thanks for sharing! Billy D

[@PatrickRich]

Thats a great looking port wave. Starboad is a little weak looking but not bad.

[@pikehk]

That is one heck of a boat.

[@AuburnAquanaut]

Im guessing 200k, anybody have a price ?

[@1320fastback]

How crazy is this that this boat specifically makes a wave for surfing!

[@rowdienights9136]

I’ll go with, “not at all crazy.”

[@BillWalkerSD]

All the inboard ski boat builders have been building wake surfing boats with these features for several years. What's relatively new is Volvo-Penta's Forward Drive (and MerCruiser's even newer forward prop drive) that put the propeller far enough under the boat for safe wake surfing. So now the stern drive boat builders can get in on the act. But wake surfing is taking over watersports boat sales.

[@mvcharisma2968]

Yeah, they are really annoying when a boat like this comes through an anchorage plowing a big wake for his skier, while all the boats in the anchorage are getting tossed about

[@BillWalkerSD]

@@mvcharisma2968 That's just rude and ignorant (and illegal) behavior. In the waters where I boat, I'm more worried about the effects of wakeboarding and wake surfing on shoreline erosion, compared to the relatively small wakes put up by water ski boats.
